METHOD OF ASSIMILATING COMBINED TYPE-WRITTEN AND PRINTED WORK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 455,467, dated uly 7, 1891. Application filed April 13, 1891. Serial No. 388,767- (No specimens.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES F. BEEZLEY,

acitizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Methods of Assimilating Oombined Type-WVritten and Printed Work, of which the following is a specification.

A common practice in advertising, especially by circular-letter, is to produce multiple copies of the body of the communication by the ordinary printing process, using as the type such as resemble the type-writer variety thereof and type-writing the address and other introductory portion to lend to the letter the appearance of a communication written entirely with the type-writer. ,The effect of this practice is not such as to assimilate the type-writing and printing; but, on the contrary, the difference between the printingpress and type-written work is clearly apparcut, the beginning of the former and ending of the latter being readily discernible.

The object of my invention is to so assimilate the type-written and printed portions of the work as to render them indistinguishable after being moistened. To this end I employfor the printing an ink which when moistened will closely resemble and blend with the type-writer ink when the latter is moistened. What the component parts of such an ink should be depends, of course, on the kind of type-writer ink employed, and for difierent colors. of the ink difierent aniline colors may be used.

I may herein state, by way of example, the means I have used in the practice of my invention, leaving it to others who may desire to use it to employ other analogous means for producing different coloring or other eifects.

The ribbon I have used is the green Underwood copying-ribbo'n on a Remington typewriting machinegand for the printing I have employed an ink composed of about forty-five parts of green aniline, about twenty-two parts of glucose, about twenty-two parts of black molasses, and about eleven parts of glycerine, all compounded in the usual or any suitable manner in the manufacture of ink.

The work, when printed. in part with the type-written portions of the work with type of corresponding appearance and using for the printing-ink which, when the work is moistened, will resemble the ink of the typewriter work when moistened, type-writinga portion of the work, and moistening the combined work, substantially as described.

2. The method of producing assimilation of work partly type-written and partly p1*i1ft;-., which consists in performing the printed and type-written portions of the work with type of corresponding appearance, printing a portion of the work with an ink compounded of ingredients substantially as described, typewritinga portion of the work with an inkribbon such as designated, and moistening both portions, as set forth.
